Could you substitute some of the AP flour for white whole wheat flour? Would any other modifications need to be done to the recipe?
Sure you can use a little whole wheat flour. Just be sure your dough consistency is correct-you may need to add a bit more water as the bran in your whole wheat flour will absorb more liquid. Try substituting 1 cup at first, Kristin. See how you like it. If it's good for you, try upping the amount till you feel you've lowered the rise as much as you like (because whole wheat will lower the rise). When you mix the dough, let it rest for about 20 minutes to absorb the liquid before kneading; that'll help with the different way ww absorbs water. Have fun - PJH
